If this is the same problem as one that was reported some time ago, it
may also happen when installing potato from scratch. There are two
possible solutions:
1. Make gettext to depend on emacsen (currently there is just a suggest).
I think this is the wrong solution. I don't want to force gettext users
to install emacs if they don't want.
2. Change /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install implementation.
I've suggested this to the maintainer, don't know whether he considered it
or not. There should be details about this in one of the bugs against
emacs20 or emacsen-common.
